Getting Rich Quick - Online

Posted on Jan 30, 2008 - 3:23 PM Comments (1)

I stumbled across an article today titled How To Make $1,000,000 By Blogging. It's an awesome read and pretty funny through out the entire piece. It's basic outline is that you use the money you make from your blogging to buy lottery tickets to win $1,000,000+.

The moral of the story is that blogging is not a get rich quick scheme. I've written before about how I plan to make a million bucks this year and in the post I give an outline of my overall plans to achieve this goal. A lot ...

Up Your Profits With Google Checkout

Posted on Jan 28, 2008 - 11:58 AM Comments (2)

I, like many, have been frustrated with Paypal the last few years. Their policy is a little one sided and it's the merchant who gets the short end of the stick. I know I am not the only one who has had their entire account locked—with all funds frozen—as a result of a single complaint from a buyer. I slowly took my payment processing to other venues and basically only use Paypal for eBay purchases now.

How are we supposed to process orders without a payment processing partner? There are many options out there that are suitable ...

Reach Your Audience With Grand Central

Posted on Jan 24, 2008 - 2:36 PM Comments (0)

Ever wanted to literally speak with the visitors to your website? There are many options for this, for example Skype, but none are as complete as GrandCentral. The service—which was purchased by Google—is an all-in-one service for your telephone(s).

The service has an awesome web button which can allow website visitors to call you straight from your website (without giving out your phone number). I recently started testing this on a website I own and in the last week have seen a 15% increase in conversions (even though I have only been called once!) I suppose it ...

Monetizing Adult Websites

Posted on Jan 22, 2008 - 4:04 PM Comments (2)

I normally don't like to write about the sites I use to generate income but I have blogged about this before. I co-own the NSFW website AhCabron.com. The basic idea is that users upload their photos so others can comment and vote on them. Most of the work that I need to do on this site is just help approve the uploads. We try our best to make sure that the uploaded photos are not obviously copyrighted, etc. and the users take it from there.

Adult sites that are free to use are usually more difficult to monetize ...

How Safe Is Your Day Job?

I was reading TechCrunch and found this post about Yahoo cutting it's workforce by 20%. It references this article from Silicon Alley Insider, which has written an updated story and things do not look good.

I have a friend who works for Yahoo in the Burbank offices and he says that those rumors began floating last week. He isn't too concerned about his specific department, but worried about the direction the company may be heading.

I've been in corporate gigs before where layoff's were rumored and eventually occurred. I'll never forget that uneasy feeling; wondering ...

Tips From The Career of Howard Stern

Posted on Jan 17, 2008 - 12:33 PM Comments (1)

No I don't mean lesbian dial-a-date or porn star game shows. Anyone who actually listens to The Howard Stern Show knows that there is so much more to the show than the "shock" bits he has gotten a bad name for. The bottom line is, the man has a HUGE following and it's not only because of his on air antics.

Last week Howard celebrated his 2 year anniversary at Sirius satellite radio. He took the company, threw it on his back, and sky rocketed them to being the satellite radio provider.

During the Christmas break, they played ...

My Ears Were Burning

Posted on Jan 15, 2008 - 11:43 AM Comments (3)

I woke up this morning at about 3:15 AM when my oldest daughter came into my room complaining about her cough. She hasn't been feeling good so I had her come to sleep with my wife and I. I couldn't fall back asleep.

I laid there thinking about everything going on in my life right now. It's a very busy and exciting time for me. I lay awake for nearly 2 hours, just me and my thoughts. I've had a lot on my mind lately and I didn't realize that I had won a ...

I've received a few emails asking what RSS feeds I read regularly. I figured it would be a fun post to list the feeds I read and why. So without further delay, here is my list of subscribed RSS feeds (all the links below will link to their RSS feeds, not their websites).

Marketing / Affiliate

Dosh Dosh - I found this one about a year ago accidently. There are some very well written posts on this blog. They are usually long and very informative.

How I Plan to Make $1 Million Dollars in 2008

Posted on Jan 7, 2008 - 6:04 PM Comments (4)

2008 will be a landmark year in my life. As of today, January 7th 2008, I am my own boss. I have resigned from Groovr for various reasons, leading me to take the jump and be responsible for my own income. This is a scary and exciting time for me but I will make the best of it!

How will I make $1 million dollars?

Well, I probably won't quite reach that goal but I sure will try! I have been trying my hand in internet and affiliate marketing in my free time and have already seen some success ...
